Sleepless Djigit

a documentary by Marc Recchia and Christophe Rolin

Kyrgyzstan - 2013

Tokon, a retired teacher from south of Kyrgyzstan writes poetry during his spare time. Every summer his daughter Gulzat comes from Russia to visit him and help him out on the farm. This year's misfortunes make Tokon focus more than usually on his daughter's departure. With the dismissal of his assistant and the absence of his wife, his world is slowly shrinking. Will it be possible despite his old age to remain the brave Djigit he needs to be in the eyes of the family ?

A compelling idea about traditional family values and engagement emerges. It's the hope of many Kyrgyz abroad to return to their homeland.
